ATTN ENGINE GURUs WTF CAN CAUSE THIS!?!?
bout a month ago i thught i blew a head gasket. thought cool, little bit of work and ill be back on the road, but with school starting i didnt have time and took it down to the corvette mechanic where i take my '82 (corvette mikes, for those of you that might know about them)
anyways i get a call from Carl sayin he had some had news it wasnt a head gasket, infact the head gaskets looked perfect, and so did the head and i needed to come down and look....
well this is what waited for me..
and this is why we thought it was a head gasket, after looking at the heads and everything Carl cant figure out where the water was coming from...

well since you have the motor I don't think there is a way to pressure the coolant system to find out where it is come from. How come the tech did not do a pressure test to see where the coolant was coming from in the first place before taking the heads off.
But I was going to ask if you were running boost but someone said it was N20.

When they pulled the plugs cylinder 5 was full of water and i started it right after it happened and it just shot white smoke forever so it was classic head gasket symptoms... until we opened it up

Are there any visible cracks in the cylinder walls? All I can think of is that maybe there is a hair line crack thats leading right into a water jacket or something along those lines.
